More about From the South, Poole

From The South is a delightful Mediterranean restaurant situated on Commercial Road in Poole’s Parkstone district. This gem was set up by three gentlemen with a passion for the flavours of Southern Europe, and the food offering truly represents their love of food. The menu is uncomplicated, with Mediterranean-inspired dishes featuring lots of seafood, tapas options as well as some chef’s favourites like great steak and traditional beer-battered fish. If you’re heading to From The South for lunch, we highly recommend trying one of their famous French croques sandwiches, served warm with Béchamel sauce. Go for the Portuguese spin on this classic dish with Iberic chorizo and cured sheep's cheese, or try the decadent vegetarian option by the name of Ortolana which comes with garlic mushrooms, spinach and mature cheddar.

You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to dinner at From The South, whether you’d prefer meat, seafood or veggie mains. Their extravagant Lagareiro-style octopus dish is served in the most traditional form with new potatoes, garlic and virgin olive oil. Alternatively, their slow-cooked duck leg confit is the ultimate treat, served with celeriac mash and a borlotti bean cassoulet.

Incredible service and amazing food....highly recommend this restaurant. The staff could not do enough for us. I especially recommend the tiger prawns and 3 cured meats for starters. Espresso martinis were also delicious
